Active History: History for the Future
York University, Glendon College
Toronto, Canada
September 27-28th, 2008

This symposium is designed to bring together scholars and activists interested in assessing the ways in which historians engage with communities beyond the academy. How do, and how can, historical investigations of the past transform both historians and communities in the present and for the future? Further, the conference will give participants an opportunity to make connections and to foster the development of working relationships among people doing active history within and between the many historical subfields. Sessions and posters will focus on aboriginal history, archaeology, archive creation and utilization, community research, environmental history, labour history, and the history of sexuality.
